Shooting skills and precautions of home video camera

With the development of economy, home cameras have become a necessary shooting product for some families. So what are the shooting skills of home cameras? Next, Bian Xiao will take you to find out.

Shooting skills of home camera

First, hold the camera steady.

It is best to hold the camera with both hands, which is definitely more stable than one hand, or use something that can be supported by you or prepare a camera tripod. In any case, it is to minimize the shaking of the picture, and it is the most taboo to shoot while walking, which is also the most common mistake. This shooting method is only used in special circumstances, not walking and shooting after getting up. Never forget that the stability of the picture is the first requirement of dynamic photography.

Second, fix the lens.

Simply put, after the lens is aimed at the target, shoot at a fixed point, instead of zooming in and out or sweeping up, down, left and right, set the screen size and start recording. Usually, when shooting, the fixed lens is mainly used, so as not to affect the stability and change of the picture, that is, the size and depth of field of the scene are changed by the difference of framing size or angle and position. Simply put, stand behind the camera when taking a panoramic view.

Third, the use of manual function

1, manual brightness level function.

First of all, explain the manual brightness level function. When shooting backlight and night scene, if shooting in full automatic mode, the former must be that the subject or character is all black and the background is bright, while the latter is that the lights are blurred in the dark. The principle is not discussed here. To solve the above problems, the best way is to press the backlight correction function key when shooting backlight. If there is no such function, then switch the automatic mode to manual mode and find the brightness level key to adjust the brightness of the picture. Brighten the brightness when backlighting and dim it at night. Usually, data will be displayed on the viewer or LCD screen in graphics or modes. Of course, the best way is to look at the picture directly on the viewer or LCD screen and adjust it to the appropriate brightness. So when you buy a video camera, be sure to let the store guide you how to use this function.

2. Manual focusing function

Usually, autofocus is used for general shooting, but under special circumstances, such as barbed wire, glass, people moving from the target ... often the focus of the picture will be blurred, because in the case of autofocus, the camera will judge the distance according to the signal reflected by the front object and then adjust the focal length, so this will happen. So as long as the autofocus is switched to manual, the focus will be locked in a fixed position (please refer to the manual for different display modes and adjustments of brands), so that the focus will not run around.

Fourth, how to use the zoom lens

Video recorders and cameras also have zoom lenses, but the biggest difference is that the camera can zoom while shooting, and of course it can also be used as a framing tool for the size of a picture like a still camera. For example, if you want to shoot a distant target, you can zoom in with a zoom lens and take a closer look. When you zoom in to the required image size, just press the video button to take the required image. Just like the fixed lens shooting method.

Precautions for shooting

I often see some DV friends. Every time it comes to the important moment of shooting, either the battery _ _ or it crashes for unknown reasons, all of which are attributed to the inspection and preparation of the equipment in advance. Especially the wedding video is an important video, so the day before shooting, take out your dusty camera to see if it is moldy, turn on the electricity to see if it can work, put it in the blank, try to record it, and take it out to see if there are any defects. A small lamp is the best tool in a room with insufficient light. If you are fully prepared for the above, I believe you have succeeded more than half.
